With all the snow, sand, and salt Somerled Avenue was a mushy mess today as depicted in the painting. These street panoramas are always tough to get right, the buildings have perspective and the distance between is more than it seems. By holding the paper up, and using the brush to gauge the angles, once can approximate things without too much trouble. The top line on the Metro grocer could have been angled a bit more now that I look at it. If the weather conditions improve I can get more detail in there. A scene like this, you just paint what you see. The grocery store used to be a Steinberg's.
